Temp file disk space gets all used by rcd* files

Clients consumed all available disk space with rcd* files.
Temp file (-T) disk space gets used up by rcd* files
Clients terminate with error 290 when disk space is exhausted

After changing the database schema clients started to use more disk space with rcd* files
Peak disk consumption matches peak of user's activity.
There are no changes to the application code.

On UNIX the -t parameter shows large rcd* files are created.




 

Change in database schema caused that the application to require more memory allocated for r-code segments, the client swaped more memory into the rcd* files and made them grow bigger.

Set the client parameter -mmax to a value higher than the default value. The default value is 3,096,  maximum is 65,534, where each unit in -mmax is 1 KB of memory. For further information refer to Article P11351, What is the -mmax parameter?
